X-Files Series on DVD

Starring David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, The X-Files was a TV show that premiered in the early '90s and ran for 9 seasons. The show gave us chills, thrills, amazing story lines, some murder mysteries that would leave Jessica in Murder She Wrote scratching her head. They're not gone, they're on DVD now.

F.B.I. Special Agent Dana Scully (Anderson) was first introduced to Special Agent Fox Mulder when her superiors wanted someone to keep an eye on "Spooky Mulder" as a precaution. Together they set off on a long and perilous journey to find "the truth". When no one believed them, the duo would get even more desperate to prove the truth of alien life on other planets and the existence of a conspiracy crawling up the ladder of our government all the way to the Pentagon. 

Of course, as much as this storyline played a major part in the popular TV series, not all the X-Files episodes were centered on the subject of extraterrestrials. If you want tongue and cheak humor, watch for great episodes like "Small Potatoes" or watch for such guest stars as Peter Boyle as the colorful psychic in "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose". Watch for such guest voices as Jodie Foster in "Never Again". If you want straight, scary horror, The X-Files has plenty. Check out episodes like "Squeeze" and the follow-up, "Tooms", "Ice", "Shapes", or "Home". These episodes are in the first four seasons.

Many more episodes with even more wild content followed. Such episodes as "Dreamland" and its follow-up, "Dreamland 2" has Mulder switch places with an employee in Area 51. Lily Tomlin and Ed Asner guest star in the campy but downright fun "The Ghosts Stole Christmas". Watch for a Cops spoof in "X-Cops". Then, among others in the 5th, 6th and 7th seasons, you have David Duchovny writing and directing the funny mystery "Hollywood AD" with his wife, Tea Leoni guest starring.
